The "Crash" actor stars in a new Funny or Die video, as 1990s enviro-crusader Captain Planet. Unfortunately, Cheadle's version of the globe-protecting hero is more than a little power-mad, and proceeds to go on a shrubbery-creating frenzy, turning people, animals and infants into trees and bushes.

Watch Cheadle root for the environment — with the help of Brenda Song, Efren Ramirez and others as the Planeteers — in the video.
